Japan's Toyota Motor Corp. will outsource production of low-pollution diesel engines to Isuzu Motors Ltd., a local business newspaper said Friday. The move comes as the Japanese auto giant aims at solidifying its position as the leader in eco-friendly vehicles by tapping the technology of a capital tie-up partner, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun said.

Isuzu will invest about 30 billion yen (243.82 million dollars) to build a diesel engine plant to exclusively supply products for Toyota, which plans to use the engines in passenger cars sold in Europe, the newspaper said. The new facility is expected to produce 200,000 units a year from 2012 on, the report said.

Diesel-powered vehicles emit 20 percent less carbon dioxide than gasoline vehicles but release such pollutants as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, posing a technological challenge for automakers. With other Japanese carmakers rushing to develop next-generation diesel engines, Toyota -- which has been the leader in hybrid cars -- is aiming to establish a solid footing in diesels as well, the paper said.

Japanese carmaker Honda Motor Co. plans to introduce vehicles with low-pollution, fuel-efficient diesel engines in Japan and North America within the next few years.

Honda To Produce Green Diesel Cars

Tokyo (AFP) Jun 13, 2007
Honda Motor Co. plans to become the first Japanese carmaker to produce passenger vehicles with low-pollution, fuel-efficient diesel engines, a report said Wednesday. These vehicles emit 20 percent less carbon dioxide than petrol-powered ones while substantially reducing emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides compared with conventional diesel cars, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun said without citing sources.
